The new monitors by Basis have done away with the uncomfortable chest strap and bulky appearance of its predecessors and have a customized, sleek new health monitor that not only looks fashionable, but keeps track of your heart rate, calorie intake and sleep pattern. The device can also be linked up to an online account in order to give you a concise description of any progress you’ve made. This integrates an element on interaction with the piece that suits the modern consumer perfectly. Aesthetically, the Basis Health Monitor has an interchangeable wristband, meaning you can switch up the color of the piece if black and white aren't your style. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.5/10 - Popularity: 38% | Activity: 59% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Watches](https://www.trendhunter.com/watches) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Wrist-worn Cardiac Devices:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in the wearable technology industry by creating stylish, comfortable, and multifunctional wrist-worn cardiac devices. ### Who This Affects Most - **Wearable Technology Industry:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in the wearable technology industry by creating stylish, comfortable, and multifunctional wrist-worn cardiac devices. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Demure Blood Pressure Bracelets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aktiia-wearable-blood-pressure-monitor.md) - [Multipurpose Health-Monitoring Watches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fitvii-health-watch.md) - [Blood Pressure-Monitoring Smartwatches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/yhe-bp-doctor-fit.md) - [Wearable Monitoring Technology](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tband.md) - [Next-Generation Screenless Fitness Monitors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/screenless-fitness-monitor.md) - [User-Powered Health Trackers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bheart.md) - [Portable Health Monitoring Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fitrus-plus-30.md) - [All-Day Smart Heart Monitors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fourth-frontier-x2.md) - [Pebble-Shaped Health Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ohealth-h1.md)
